Not quite what we expected from photos. Room was fine, but dated. Fireplace did not work. Cobwebs present throughout. We were expected to make our own breakfast and ensure all dishes were cleaned and put away or a cleaning charge would be placed on our account. That seemed odd to us and this was the only property that required this during our 3 weeks in New Zealand. We did appreciate the free glow worm tour and the location of the property.

Liked: Cleanliness
Room was clean. Bedding a bit uncomfortable. Found it hard to get warm. Had to turn airconditioner off as it blew its stream of air right onto bed. Generally a bit dated. Continental breakfast fine, but note that said if we did not clean up sufficiently we would be charged, did not go down well.

We stayed at the Fox Glacier Lodge for two evenings. The staff at the lodge were amazing. They went above and beyond to answer any of our questions about the town. At night time, they offered a free walk to see the glow worms which was just around the corner from the lodge.

Good little place in the middle of nowhere. On site management is great, friendly, and provided an informative Glow-worm walk. We stayed in the king spa room, and was able to peruse the spa after a long day of walking so it was a nice touch. Could consider adding a little shelf for toiletries in the shower.
